1 month left, getting **** down!

Alrite so theres about 1 month left until school starts and it's about time I get all my gains maximized, just need some help from you guys :D. A few things about me, I'm 5"8, 182 lbs and have about 26% BF (yeah i know). I try and eat about 2700-3000 calories a day. The ratios between fat/carbs/proteins are always random every day though ( I don't have a set schedule on what I'm going to eat, i just eat it and log it in on fitday.com) I workout my whole body, 30 mins before workout I have 1 scoop of on whey protein mixed in with water and usually around 50 grams of carbs. split goes as such: Legs/Abs- 4x12 squat, 4x12 weighted crunches, 30 situps Rest 4x12 sleep :P (possibly another day rest) Chest/Triceps 4x12 benchpress/chestpress 4x12 Pec Deck fly 4x12 tricep extensions Rest Back/Biceps 4x12 deadlifts, 4x12 seated cable rows, 4x12 lat pulldowns, 4x12 bicep curls Rest Shoulders/Calves 4x12 shoulder press, 4x12 lateral raise, 4x12 dumbell shrugs, 4x12 seated calf raise Rest After workout I usually have some HIIT cardio, on the treadmill (except on leg day, it feels akward), about 15 mins of it followed by a shower and then I go straight to work (5 min. drive) and eat some rice with chickpeas and a protein shake. When I'm not working, I'm usually at home just sitting around (playing video games and whatnot :P). I get atleast 8 hrs of sleep everyday (but that'll change when school starts). I drink about 20-30 cups of water a day. I also drink about 6 glasses of milk a day. Before bed I eat 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese. (btw i go to sleep at aroiund 4 am and wake up at 1ish PM lol). Is there anything you guys would change in what im doing? If so what? thanks guys :D

- if you aren't doing any more leg exercises, add a few more sets for squats
- instead of seated cable rows, do barbell or dumbbell rows
Otherwise, everything looks fine to me. Good luck

Pre-workout have whey, 30 minutes before, like you said. (Cut out carbs) Post workout have whey as soon as you can (within 15 minutes) and a high-GI carbohydrate (banana) with it. Your split doesn't sound too bad but remember that rest periods are important. - Whoop, I gotta go, sorry, I might finish this post later.

I would say yes. Although i'm not experienced when it comes to this, i still think that your not doing enough for legs. Maybe just start out at 3x10 Leg Press/Curls after squats. My leg day consits of; 4x10 Squats, 3x10 Leg Press, 3x10 Leg Curls, 2x10 Standing Calf Raises, then i do abs (only 4 sets tho)
